JAY:

Because of this this judgment.

Okay? You don't know the facts.

APRIL:

What are the facts?

JAY:

It's legal.

APRIL:

Yeah, for now. Who knows

what it's doing to people?

JAY:

Oh, April. April come

I'm sorry. Ya know what? I'll

pay for that. Don't... April

MAN 1:

We are gonna do this real easy.

Ain't no heroes today!

Now we know your

business partner's inside.

We gonna go inside and

you're gonna call him...

Okay? Now remember you got

three motherfuckers behind you

that'll light your ass up.

Now let's go.

Yo call his ass out.

I said call his ass out.

JAY:

Yo, Ray!

MAN 1:

JAY:

Yo Ray, where you at?!

RAYMOND:

F***ing pussies.

MAN 1:

Yo get his keys and go get that

lock box. Go get that cash.

Man, don't eyeball

NURSE:

I'm sure you both know it

hasn't been an easy night

for your friend here but we

had to put some staples

in his head as well as a cast

on his arm because he has a

big break in his arm. It's clean

though, so it should heal well

in about 12 days. Uhm, his head

injury though, is pretty severe,

however we're pretty sure that

he's gonna make a full recovery.

We're hoping for the best,

ideally, but...

trails off

JAY:

Hey guys. Who's watching

the warehouse?

Guys? Who's watching the...

APRIL:

How do you feel?

JAY:

Like I got attacked by

a 50 pound staple gun.

APRIL:

Don't touch.

Doctor said that you have to

leave them in for 2 weeks.

JAY:

My hand is broken.

APRIL:

Clean break. Good

as new in 6 weeks.

JAY:

Aren't you a

fountain of good news.

JAY:

I didn't, I didn't

mean it like that. I'm sorry.

APRIL:

I gotta go. I gotta go

to work. You get some rest.

JAY:

This wasn't my fault. Those

guys came after me.

APRIL:

Oh, I know. I know Jay.

JAY:

F***! F***... It's not my fault.

You get to chauffeur me around

for all the good times,

huh, Pop?

JAY'S FATHER:

Your mother made me come.

She's not good seeing

you in a state like this.

You know how she gets.

JAY:

Yeah, I know...

JAY'S FATHER:

Look, I'm gonna say this once

and then I'm never gonna

and then I'll never

mention it again.

You have to get out

of this business.

Ya gotta stop selling this sh*t.

JAY:

Dad, can we please

not talk about this right now?

JAY'S FATHER:

Would you listen to me for

once?! Why do you alway

have to do things the hard way?

JAY:

I got it under control,

thanks Pop!

JAY'S FATHER:

Yeah it sure looks like it...

Jay, nothing comes

easy in this life.

Not money, not happiness,

not love, nothing.

JAY:

Speak for yourself.

JAY'S FATHER:

Maybe prison wasn't

enough for you.

JAY:

What's that supposed to mean?

JAY'S FATHER:

Exactly what it sounds like.

All I know is we've been

down this road before.

JAY:

Somebody must have leaked.

How else do a couple of thugs

know "a" where we live, "b" that

we have a house full of cash?

RAYMOND:

Come on dude, nobody

here would do that.

JAY:

Then how the hell do they know?

MARTY:

You said somebody's been

following you, right?

JAY:

That f***in' blue cadillac,

yeah it was at the gas station

the night of the robbery. Some

body had to've tipped 'em off.

Did you talk to this

Detective Millings yet?

RAYMOND:

Yes I did, he said he's

gonna come by later.

Look, dude, this sh*t is getting

completely outta f***in' control

okay? We've got to try to

keep it together all right?

I can cover for you

at times dude, I can't

MARTY:

I got to run to Raj's place and

drop off some product that

was short on the last order.

JAY:

What the f*** is

wrong with you now?

MARTY:

I'm not feeling that well,

that's all. I'll call you later.

JAY (voice over):

It happened over there. That's

going to pick up

that angle right?

INSTALLER:

Yes sir.

We've got your entire

property on surveillance.

You can rest easy, your

house is totally secure.

Knocking.

KRISTEN RODRIGUEZ:

Mr. Trotta?... Mr. Trotta.

VOICE (OS):
We'll call him

Stephen, someone who smokes

fake pot. A product that

continues to draw more and more

attention on a state and

federal level.

Recently, I reported about a

product called Magic Flame,

an herbal incense,

also known as fake pot.

Since that time, a demand

of the synthetic version

of marijuana has nearly tripled.

People are now

beginning to ask,

what are the real dangers

of smoking herbal incense?

DOCTOR:

I've seen kids have

extreme paranoia

anxiety, heart

palpitations, seizures.

Honestly, this stuff

needs to be banned.

KRISTEN RODRIGUEZ:

The DEA says blends like Magic

Flame contain common ingredients

such as ground herbs,

fragrance, and some kind of

synthetic cannabinoid -

that causes similar reactions

to marijuana.

So, how is this

legal, you ask?

Four simple words - NO FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

It is this distinction that

keeps companies out of the

reach from state

and federal laws.

On the label, I found no

corporate address or phone

number.

Not a single word about

who's behind Magic Flame.

But it would turn

out we didn't need it.

Two little letters told us

everything we needed to know.

Turns out the name behind

the registered trademark led

us to this local

business Hookahs R Us.

A small hookah bar in

the heart of West Palm.

A representative for

the company denied us an

interview but they did

release this statement.

We in no way support the

misuse of Magic Flame,

especially amongst minors.

The product has a clear

warning label stating it is

not intended for

human consumption.

Hookahs R Us has not

violated any laws.

Maybe not, but today the DEA

issued a statement announcing

a ban of five chemicals used

for synthetic pot. One of

the five chemicals

matched the chemicals we

tested for in this

bag of Magic Flame.

RAYMOND:

...We heard that

you represent some of our

competitors.

RON GREY:

Yes.

I am very well-versed in the

legalities of your industry.

I saw the news

report on you guys.

That reporter is

one tough cookie,

isn't she?

She must have called my

office a dozen times.

RAYMOND:

Yeah, She's relentless.

RON GREY:

If she comes back around,

I can help you guys

craft a statement,

something a little tougher

than what you guys came up

with, to get her

off your backs.

You guys are fine.

Keep making

product, banking money.

That's my advice.

JAY:

The Feds just declared

our product illegal and I got

a reporter stalking

me 24 hours a day.

Hey, I've already been

to prison once.

RON GREY:

Jay, listen, there

are over sixty six different
